I'm not sure what you found in your google search but rolled fenders is not hard to to do or bad for a vehicle. LOTS and LOTS of people have done it. Heck I've done it to a few cars with just a heat gun and a hammer. They have fancy tools that bolt to your hub and make it even easier. As for jumping up on wheel size and having a stiffer ride. Technically yes it will be a rougher ride. A lot has to do with the make of tires too. I've had 2 sets of 17's, 3 sets of 18's and one set of 19's on my boxster and I didn't feel a big difference in ride harshness between them because of the size as much as I did with what tires were on them. The biggest problem I saw with the 19's was their weight. They were boat anchors and I couldn't wait to get them off. I could instantly tell my car was slower.
